In retrospect, it had been at least five years since I heard her neighbor Aunt Lee show off her son, Adong. In the days five years ago, my neighbor, Aunt Li, used to show off in front of me how capable her son was. Her son is really capable: from elementary school to junior high school, his grades are among the best, he is admitted to a key university, and he is admitted to a graduate school, working in Shanghai. However, after working in Shanghai for five years, after Aunt Li's son was 35 years old, I never heard her show off her son in front of me again. I hate Aunt Li for showing off her son, not because I am jealous of his son's ability, but because while showing off her son, she can't forget to belittle my son, because my son Ah Qiang's academic performance is very poor, so he has to go to technical school. So, Why has Aunt Li, who has always liked to show off her son in front of me, never showed off in front of me in the past five years? Let me tell you the details:
First, Aunt Li's son Ah Dong and my son Ah Qiang are elementary school classmates. After graduating from elementary school, Adong was admitted to the key junior high school, and my son had poor grades and had to go to ordinary junior high school. Later, after Aunt Li's son, Ah Dong, graduated from junior high school, he was admitted to a key high school in the market, and then admitted to a key university in Beijing. After graduating from university, he returned to be admitted to the civil service of the county government, and after four years of work, he was admitted to a master's degree at a university in Shanghai, and worked in Shanghai after graduation. At this time, Ah Dong was 30 years old. Speaking of this, everyone knows the reason why the neighbor Aunt Li often shows off in front of me how capable her son Ah Dong is, and also understands the reason why Aunt Li belittled my son Ah Qiang. My son is not only unable to read, but also very naughty, as a parent, I am often called by the class teacher to go to the school to cooperate with the education of my son. Even so, I didn't want to hear Aunt Li belittle my son. Therefore, whenever I hear Aunt Li belittle my son's words, I feel very uncomfortable.
Second, after my son Ah Qiang graduated from technical school, he went to work for an advertising company in Guangdong at the age of 19. I never dreamed that my son, Ah Qiang, who had extremely poor academic performance, studied advertising production techniques diligently when he was working in an advertising company, and after three years, he resigned and returned to our county to start an advertising company. My son saved 150,000 yuan from part-time work, borrowed another 100,000 yuan from me to buy advertising equipment, and hired an employee. In this way, my son's advertising agency opened to undertake various advertising productions. To my surprise, my son's technical level of advertising production is very high, and his birthday is getting more and more prosperous. The son hired five more employees, and the business got bigger and bigger. When his son was 27 years old, he would earn money to buy land to build a heaven and earth building, as an advertising agency, no longer rent other people's shops, and then his son bought a car, married and had children at the age of 28. After becoming a grandfather, I helped take care of my grandson and enjoy the joy of the world. Relieve his son's worries and let his son start a business wholeheartedly. In this way, the son had a successful career before the age of 30, a house and a car, a wife and children.
The third is that the son of neighbor Aunt Li, Ah Dong, studied for a master's degree at a university in Shanghai and worked in Shanghai after graduation. I had heard that her son had jumped several times, and it was not until the age of 37 that he worked in a certain unit. Because Aunt Li spent a lot of money on sending her son to study before, coupled with the fact that her son had been unstable after graduating from graduate school, he had no money. Therefore, Aunt Li's son Ah Dong has not bought a house in Shanghai and has never been married. Today, Aunt Li's son is 40 years old, still renting a house in Shanghai, and still a bachelor. When Aunt Li chatted with others, she said that she was very envious of the neighbors after me, saying that my son had a successful career at a young age, had a house and a car, got married and started a family and a son, and let me become a grandfather at a young age! At the same time, Aunt Li also regretted letting her son go to graduate school. If her son had been a civil servant in the county office, he would have had a house, a car, a marriage, a family and children. Today, her son is 40 years old, has no house and no girlfriend, and her life is wandering, and she feels that her son's life is good and sad. And my desire to hold my grandson as a grandmother, I don't know when it will be realized?
Fourth, at this point, perhaps everyone already knows it: the reason why my neighbor Aunt Li often showed off how capable her son Adong was before her son was 35 years old. It is undeniable that Aunt Li's son, Ah Dong, is indeed a smart and capable child, graduating from primary school and being admitted to a key junior high school, a junior high school graduation exam, and then a key university in Beijing, a county civil servant after graduating from college, and then a graduate student at a university in Shanghai. After graduation, he worked in Shanghai. Just by virtue of the experience of Aunt Li's son, Adong. It has made many people admire, and many children are beyond their reach. However, it is such a capable son who in the end does not have the result that Aunt Li hoped for, nor the result that her son Ah Dong hoped for. After all, a man is 40 years old, does not have his own house in Shanghai's big city, and his job is just getting started, not to mention what is a master's degree student in Shanghai, which is full of talents? After that, Aunt Li's son Ah Dong wants to buy a house in Shanghai, it is indeed very difficult to get married and have children to achieve a family foothold in Shanghai, aunt Li knows that in this way, it is impossible to rely on her son to enjoy a happy and beautiful life in his old age, because the son himself is difficult to protect! Because she can't help her son financially, her son's economic income is not rich, in Shanghai can only be regarded as ordinary people, the reason why, aunt Li after her son Ah Dong is 35 years old, she has clearly seen that her son will be difficult to live a good life in the future, but also understand that her son is very difficult in Shanghai, naturally do not dare to show off how capable her son is in front of others!
Now Aunt Li has come to envy me. Because although my son Ah Qiang went to Guangdong to work after finishing technical school, he returned to the county to start a successful business. Now my son is 40 years old, the father of two sons, and my son uses the money earned from the advertising company to buy land and build five buildings for rent, and also buys an 800,000 yuan luxury car. Today, our family lives a prosperous and happy life. Aunt Li's 40-year-old son, Ah Dong, still has no house and no wife, and still lives a miserable single life in Shanghai. At this time, Aunt Li not only had no hope for her son, but her capable son became a burden that Aunt Li could not abandon, making Aunt Li unable to be happy. In contrast, the 65-year-old Aunt Li clearly saw that her son Ah Dong, who worked in Shanghai after graduating with a master's degree, was not as happy and successful as my son Ah Qiang, who graduated from the technical school. Because of this, Aunt Li did not dare to show off how capable her son was in front of others, of course, she no longer dared to belittle my son!
